Letter: Thanks for coverage of Portsmouth cheerleaders

As a reader of The Portsmouth Times and The Sakonnet Times formerly, I would like to heartily congratulate you on the excellent coverage you gave our Portsmouth High School cheerleading team on winning the state championship last week.

I am a grandfather to one of these athletes, so I am particularly grateful for the Times’ inclusion of all the names of the members, something none of the other newspapers did. It’s still very special to a youngster (and relatives and friends) when they are recognized in print.
